About this ebook
The Pacific Northwest abounds with native plants that bring beauty to the home garden while offering food and shelter to birds, bees, butterflies, and other wildlife. Elegant trilliums thrive in woodland settings. Showy lewisias stand out in the rock garden.

Gardening with Native Plants of the Pacific Northwest is the essential resource for learning how to best use this stunning array.
Close to 1,000 choices of trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, and grasses for diverse terrain and conditions, from Canada to California, and east to the Rockies
948 color photographs, with useful habitat icons
Fully updated nomenclature, with an index of subjects and an index of plant names (common and scientific)
New to this edition: chapters on garden ecology and garden science
Appendix of Pacific Northwest botanical gardens and native plant societies
Glossary of botanical, horticultural, and gardening terms
With enthusiasm, easy wit, and expert knowledge, renowned botanist Art Kruckeberg and horticulturist Linda Chalker-Scott show Northwest gardeners, from novice to expert, how to imagine and realize their perfect sustainable landscape.
